I'm extremely disappointed with the treatment of new management and the claims being thrown around by some members of the forum, clearly oblivious to the effort Glen has put into the forum. Furthermore, I'm also furious as to how members feel they can throw terms lightly, such as "Bring RAF back.", "Dafuq is happening?", "We want Mike back.", "Who's Glen?". I've got something to tell you. To register on the site you agreed to being over 13 years old, so act like it! Not to mention, you are free to say anything on the website, although they must abide by our policies.

You also agree to Rune Gears's ability to terminate, remove or modify a users profile for any reason, explained or not. Terminations which you feel are unfair must be disputed through here.


The matter of the fact is, management can disable and terminate an account permanently for any reason, but that is not occurring as that's blatant abuse. Although, when a member significantly defies the set rules and policies, they must be willing to accept the ban placed upon them.

Let's move on. Glen came in to the website with great ideas, enthusiasm and a passion to give you the best forum that we can, and guess what, it looks bloody good. But here you are, bashing him after one action, which once again, benefits you. The banning of scammers, but no, you complain about that too. We don't ban the scammers, you hate that as well. What a pity you guys are like a teenage girl unaware of which dress to choose. After one action you start complaining, flaming him, telling him off? How moronic is that! He bans someone who disrespects him after he's promised you guys contests, content, mass-advertising and a ridiculous amount of updates, and you still complain. You even have the nerve to want me back as Staff, if you respect my opinion so much, realise that Glen is the best for the forum, and the best it has had for a good year and the best it will have.

Honestly, if you have a legitimate concern, you are free to PM me. PMing me in regards to purchasing the website back will get you warned for "Nonsense", since this time in the forum has been the best IMHO for the past few months, and it's only getting better. Anyway, users permanently banned have had their ban length decreased, but anymore flame will result in a week ban then a permanent ban.

Sincerely, TE.

RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

Great post sir, I honestly do think it is ridiculous, people deserve a first chance, and look at what is happening to Glen. Immature people are here, posting nonsense that can actually really hurt, he's been here for how long? 2 Weeks maybe? He doesn't deserve this treatment, especially when he's working his ass off making new things to make us happy.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

Some people will act immaturely, not much you can do, this is the age group the forum caters to. Hopefully they will come around.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

Well written my friend.

But, really. They're all children, they can't help but act like that. They must think they're hurting Glen's feeling or something.

They're trying to troll, but sadly suck balls at it. The only decent troll was Nestea, and he's a faggot.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I had a nice juicy post lined up, but I'm not interested in getting permed just yet :|
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I haven't said anything or treated anyone bad about glen + staff.

But banning someone that was here from the start with out a reason was obviously gonna make people mad, would be stupid to think otherwise.

And banning all previous scammers has been the best Idea yet.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I think the major issue was miscommunication - keeping users in the dark. DrecliN banned permanently (I do see that has now decreased) definately caused a large rift in an already open crack due to the state of confusion.

All we're told is that things are going to change. When large changes occur, instinct generally says flip out!

Some people have their favourites and want you/Mike to stay owner. Some don't like change and like where this forum currently is and don't want change (the fact that you sold it makes people think that means big changes). Others, are just retards.

Me, I never judge a book by it's cover (although I've never finished reading a book in my like LOL) and I'm intrigued to see the outcomes.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management


I've told users things weren't going to change, so it's not miscommunication although I understand why you would say so logically, you're correct in that sense. The only "changes" coming are new features, nothing being removed (significantly).
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

If you guys would just take the time to actually talk to Glen you would realize hes actually very nice and I personally think he will do a lot of good around here
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I know Glen came here for good.
People, seriously, what has Glen done to you?
I haven't talked to Glen yet, but just with a few statuses and posts he has made, he seems really friendly. Wanting to play BF3 with some of us is something that not many owners of a site do.
Now, if you don't like Glen, then simply leave.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I like everything he has done / is going to do with the forum(im sure the majority does) but it dont mean people who disagree with him should be banned(even if they are acting tools)?
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

It's how the alot of the users here act, 1 small change that they don't like and they just flip shit.
From what I have been told it seems that the future updates will be awesome and Glen will do alot of good here.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

Life is complete,RAF on rage mode.

I don't mind the new owner,sad TE,Mike is leaving...
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

He hasn't even done anything yet, and everyone already judged him..
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

He has actually done things, but everything he has done is positive. People are just retarded.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

You should all take the time to go to the "Upgrades" page to see the new layout. Glen is working as we speak and very hard. One small change and everyone's crying for their mothers. I swear this forum should be rated M for Mature due to all the babies we seem to have in the community. Glen obviously BOUGHT this site, Now.. You think he'd use his own money to buy and RUIN a site? No. He bought it with great idea's and intentions that will ONLY benefit us. RAF and Mike have lives, They've been running this site for around 2 years, It's time this forum is taken into hands with more experience and fresh idea's that'll do nothing but benefit us and let Mike and RAF actually enjoy their lives.

All in all, Welcome Glen. Your progression is noted and you're doing an amazing job so far.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

So far I don't see anything wrong with the new management. I think it's great for RG. Glen seems like a professional guy and I'm sure he will do well with this forum. Guys, you need to accept the change. It will only make this easier on you.
 
RE: Ridiculous treatment of new Management

I give everyone new in the staff a fair chance, first I didn't like Glen with the rep matters and topics about that, but now he actually seems like an good guy that knows what hes doing, hope he continues to contribute to RG and make it a better forum.
